After Action Report
In a track meet, the Bulls survived the Magic 124-123. Bulls controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
